Chippendales at the Rio is joining forces with Actors’ Equity Association, and is the first all-male revue ever in Las Vegas to attempt to unionize.
>A supermajority among the two-dozen or so cast members signed union authorization cards last week. That move reinforced the cast’s intention to hold a formal vote to unionize with Equity.
>The Chipps performers have also filed paperwork with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to hold a union election. The time table for that vote is in the hands of the NLRB, likely within a month.
>If management doesn’t offer Equity recognition, dancers plan to move forward with their authorization vote. The membership would cover the Chipps residency show in Las Vegas, and its national and international touring productions.
>Primary Las Vegas entertainment unions are the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), with about 2,100 members. The Musicians Union of Las Vegas, American Federation of Musicians Local 369, reports a membership of 435. Nevada Ballet Theatre dancers joined the American Guild of Musical Artists (AGMA) in September 2022.
>Equity represents some 51,000 professional actors and stage managers on Broadway and in live theatre across the United States.

It seems many of you want third party voters to vote for Trump, but we do not support or vote for the duopoly.
Democrats are left of Jill Stein.
Your political views are skewed; I would double check the records:
Again, you made up your mind to have a competition of racing to the bottom, so you can continue to dismiss and ignore others.
I am for fighting for a better society for the future, and that starts by growing grassroots movements and continuing to help our local communities.
I see the Green Party as a stepping stone that will help us much more in the long term, tacking our systematic problems.
That is why some are for supporting the third party that is anti-genocide instead of the duopoly.
Both Trump and Harris will continue the status quo.
Nice try.
I know you would rather I vote for Trump than Dr. Jill Stein, but I do not support the duopoly.
Again, the duopoly is the staus quo, it will not help fix the systematic problems our society faces.
Voting for the status quo for many decades did not improve the lives of workers.
In fact, we are involved in multiple wars, and our economy is not doing so well again.
I don't think we will agree on this topic.
That is why we differ on who we are willing to vote for and how high or how low our standards have become.
Political tribalism is working really well to keep dividing us.
You have already made up your mind that everyone who does not follow your ideals must have much more privilege than yourself.
Voting and protesting: to create a better society, people need to be willing to demand more than what the status quo can provide.
True, that is why we should continue to be involed in our local community and supporting organizations that help workers.
An example of one such organization that is fighting and demanding higher standards for workers:
WE DEMAND
- Workers Need a Real Raise — $25/Hour Minimum Wage
- Good Union Jobs for All
- Fight Racism, Sexism & All Oppression
- Quality Affordable Housing & Free Healthcare for All
- End the Genocidal War on Gaza — No Military Aid, No Occupation
- No More Sellouts — We Need a New Party^[[1] https://www.workersstrikeback.org/]
This imaginary gun is being held by the duopoly against the populace every four years, just so that the status quo can continue.
Political theater from both parties.
Biden and Harris are the current president and VP, happily funding and supporting Israel.
Raise your standards.
Genocide is genocide.
I would rather vote for third parties that are anti-genocide.
We must have higher standards than the status quo.
With that kind of thinking, the civil rights movements would never have happened.
The Lord won't help us on this one; we need to be the ones to fight for what we demand.
The civil rights movements happened because people were fed up with the status quo.
Wrong assumtions on all parts.
Nice try though, racing to the bottom with victimhood so as to disregard others that do not bow down to your ideals.
We are currently in a fascist regime; both parties are heavily lobbied by corporations that dictate policy.
People continue to struggle more and more under both parties, while they play political theater to continue to divide us.
Voting outside the two-party system will help establish that people do have standards when voting.
Voting is one - an important one.
Yes, and a good percentage of the populace decides to stay in and not reward the duopoly with their vote.
Stop wasting your vote with the duopoly; voting out of fear should not be the norm.
Do not give in to the fearmongering that the establishment and the politicians push on the people every four years.
Our long-term goal should be to continue to build up grassroots movements for the working class; this won't happen in a day.
It seems a lot of people suffer from short-term memory.
